For Mabon, the witches' sabbat falling on the autumnal equinox, we performed a ritual to fully experience and release our collective grief. We grieve the false belief that we are separate from each other. We grieve the false belief that any human is more important than another. We grieve the false belief that we are separate from the Earth. Watch it in full, with lyrics, at WITCHPDX.COM/GRIEFRITUAL. Performed at the confluence of the Wimahl (Columbia) and Wallamt (Willamette) rivers in Portland, Oregon. #mabon#autumnequinox#witchpdx#witchcraft 🍂🌫🔥🌊

TOPOS is a volunteer rescue team that formed after the 1985 earthquake in Mexico - they're doing invaluable work after yesterday's quake and can really use help from all around the world right now. Please send donations via PayPal to donativos@brigada-rescate-topos.org. Again, please avoid giving your money to the inefficient and wasteful Red Cross. #mexicocityearthquake#disasterrelief

Get your phones out, witches 🔮 #Repost@guerrillafeminism (@get_repost)・・・"Georgia plans to execute Keith Tharpe on September 26 even though there is evidence that racial prejudice influenced the jury's verdict. One juror told Keith's lawyers that he voted for the death penalty because Keith is black. That same juror used the "n-word" to describe Keith in conversation. Lawyers brought this information to a federal court, but the court refused to re-open Keith's case.

Let's encourage Governor Nathan Deal and the Georgia State Board of Pardons & Paroles to do the right thing and stop this execution. Here is Governor Deal's phone number: (404) 656-1776. And here are the pardon board's phone numbers: (404) 656-4661 and (404) 657-9450."

Slavery may have been officially 'abolished' but it continues in the form of the United States prison industrial complex. Front-line prisoner-firefighters are just one example; the government treats (disproportionately black) incarcerated people stripped of their rights like a pool of limitless exploitable slave labor. Inmates are paid as little as 23 cents per hour When products say they're 'Made in the U.S.A.', there's a high chance they were made by prisoners, who do not benefit from job placement programs when released. #abolishprisons#humanrights#massincarceration

We were so excited to spot this photo of us in @streetroots, a weekly newspaper that creates income opportunities for people experiencing houselessness and poverty here in Portland. This organization is close to our hearts. ❤️

Our sibling coven @witchlouisville, defending the last remaining abortion clinic in Kentucky this week as the governor seeks to shut it down. Thank you for doing this work. Everyone deserves access to safe and legal abortion and many rural residents of Kentucky already must travel long distances to reach a clinic. If the measure succeeds, they'll be the only state without a single one. #reproductiverights#abortionrights

W.I.T.C.H.PDX is beyond devastated by the fires that are currently destroying our beloved Columbia Gorge, turning the sun red and raining ash upon us. We mourn the beauty and life lost at the hands of teenagers playing with fireworks. But we remain motivated to do our work. Please do your part to protect #DACA today by calling your reps (or auto-faxing them by texting 'RESIST' to 50409) We must stand up and defend our Dreamers.

"A stripper's union? Do you wish you and your co-workers had some job security, and some control over your working conditions? If the workers at your club want the power to create real changes, a UNION is the answer... This manual will show you how to start a union where you work." Created by the Exotic Dancers Union in San Francisco from their experiences organizing a union at the Lusty Lady in 1997, this guide is helpful to people in other industries, too.
